- Glenallen Walken: Franz Ferdinand, who was the nephew of the Austro-Hungarian emperor, was killed by a group called the Black Hand. And because they were a Serbian nationalist society, the empire declared war on Serbia. Then Russia, which was bound by a treaty, was forced to mobilize, which meant that Germany had to declare war on Russia. Then France declared war on Germany, and that was World War I. Because the emperor's nephew was killed.
- Toby Ziegler: [holding his twin babies] I didn't realize babies come with hats. You guys crack me up. You don't have jobs. You can't walk or speak the language. You don't have a dollar in your pockets but you got yourselves a hat so everything's fine. I don't want to alarm you or anything, but I'm Dad. And for you, son - for you - this will be the last time I pass the buck, but I think it should be clear from the get-go that it was Mom who named you Huckleberry. I guess she was feeling like life doesn't present enough challenges to overcome on its own. And, honey, you've got a name now, too.
- [turns to his daughter]
- Toby Ziegler: Your mom and I named you after an incredibly brave woman, really not all that much older than you. Your name is Molly. Huck and Molly. So, what do I do? Well, you're going to need food and clothes and doctors and dentists and there's that. And should you have any questions along the way...
- President Josiah Bartlet: So, what do you know now that you didn't know before?
- Toby Ziegler: Babies come with hats.
- Will Bailey: The President temporarily handing over power to his political enemy? I think it's a fairly stunning act of patriotism and a fairly ordinary act of fatherhood.
- Glenallen Walken: Now I thought you all had some good ideas. But someone should make it clear to the people in this room that someone is in charge.
- President Josiah Bartlet: Glenn, they've been up all night...
- Glenallen Walken: You're relieved, Mr. President.
- Leo McGarry: [pause] You're relieved, sir.
- Donna Moss: Do you know how many faxes we've gotten and do you know how many of them are from your insane groupies? "The Lyman Ho's have chosen this time to let you know via fax, should you be needing any physical comfort during this horrible time..." Read that. Do you like that? Is that what turns you on, you sicky?
- Josh Lyman: I didn't write this.
- Donna Moss: Yeah, but they must sense it in you.
- Josh Lyman: What are the others?
- Donna Moss: I just picked them up. It's gonna be more thoughts and prayers, good wishes...
- Josh Lyman: That's nice.
- Donna Moss: ...and bus station skanks.
